Everybody has a favourite time of year. Some people love Halloween. Some people love Christmas. Based on his level of activity and enthusiasm, it seems that Calgary Flames general manager loves the annual NHL Draft. For most of his tenure, he’s used the draft (or the week prior) to make his biggest moves.
When the 2014 draft came around, Treliving had been in his job for 10 weeks. The draft work had largely been done by then. At the draft, Treliving swapped a third rounder to Chicago for Brandon Bollig. By his standards, a minor move.
In 2015, Treliving made arguably his biggest draft swing.
